About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Occupation Banging my head against several brick walls daily.
Location Washington, District of Columbia, United States
Introduction I like to write about, learn about, and experiment with the following things:
- Specific areas of craft-y-ness. (Mostly quilt projects, childrens clothing, & recycling things.)
-Music. I like music a lot, I listen to it a lot. I like to think that I'm not really a snob about it. I have no shame or limits.
-Books! I read slowly, but I read regularly. I like to reflect on the books I've read and encourage others to read (or not read...) them.
-Movies! I love movies and television. I watch a lot of terrrible terrible movies and a lot of fantastic ones too.
-Teaching. I teach kids with Emotional Disturbance and Learning Disabilites (etc...) high school English. Well, that's what I try to do.
- And I like puzzles. Jig Saws.
